4.5

The mix of humour and unflinching looks into the realities of deep personal and political crises was at times a little jarring, but in a way that I think served the thesis of the book. These tragedies happen to real humans who still love, laugh, and find light where they can. People are complicated and this book does an excellent job demonstrating how true that is—how grey everything really is.
